Comrades: Now that we have seen the shameless act of the dictator, we must learn from this and vow to never happen again. I want the leadership of UDP to enumerate whether or not the APRC did in fact buy voter cards from eligible voters. The UDP should also come out clean in the affirmative that it did not buy a single vote from any eligible voter in Central Badibou and Kiang East Constituencies. I do not think it is fair to blame APRC for buying votes while not substantially requesting that the UDP states its stand on this illegal move. I am of the realization that we want a free Gambia, where its citizens are not bribed and that they can consciously decide within their own perimeters the right to free thought. I also want to engage Karamba, Ahmed, Saul, Sister Jabou, Mr. Damba, Mr. Kanteh, Mr. Jaiteh, cousin O.Bojang and the rest of the gang on our attitude in security a yahyaless Gambia come October. We must realize at this critical state of a desire to set a Unity Conference in Atlanta. We just cannot talk without providing resources for the opposition. Our political engagement should never be based on individual prowess. The struggle to unseat dictator yahya is universal and thus, our ability and thinking faculties should be cemented on a foundation of trust and willingness to be inclusive. The Gambia is our country, and in that analysis we will be doom to fail if we embark on a politics of self-denial. The most pressing thing is the fact that votes were bought. Is this a violation of Gambian election laws? We must understand that our resources and ability to volunteer our services to the opposition is warranted. In such, we will be helping tremendously if we sermon all the opposition leaders to this important conference. Please let us leave personality aside and concentrate on a journey to remove the dictator of kaninlai. I want to extend congratulations to Mr. Lamin Dibba and Mr. Bakary Jarju. A word of caution to Mr. Jarju, please don't give up. The fight has just begun. This is just a dress rehearsal. One thing I know for clearly is that my "sanaw" Badiboukas will proudly talk us to death of their refusal to be bought. This I know will be their new attitude.
